Halo Touch V2: hub with integrated display and advanced features

The Halo Touch V2 is unmistakably a DIY product. That does not mean, however, that it lacks appeal for average PC users. It does require some effort in terms of configuration and programming, but in return may offer a level of customization not typically found in conventional consumer devices.

Functionally, the Halo Touch V2 serves as a docking solution. It includes two USB Type-A ports, one USB Type-C port, and supports the USB 2.0 standard. It also features SD and microSD card readers. A defining element is its integrated display: a circular IPS panel with a resolution of 360 × 360 pixels. This screen can present images, system data, or detailed hardware information via tools such as AIDA64. The display is built directly into a rotary controller, enabling intuitive, screen-independent operation.

Users can adjust volume, scroll through content, or zoom with ease, making the device suitable for both everyday and productivity-focused tasks. A built-in Pomodoro timer further enhances its utility. The Halo Touch V2 is priced at $70. It ships from China, with an additional $18 shipping fee. Buyers should also factor in potential import duties and longer delivery times.
